Alpha 8410 - $5K, but you have to tune it, and your grandchildren will, because it will outlast you.
Alpha 9500 - $8K, and you will still be dead while it still works, but the grandchildren don't have to tune it at all. Pretty boring for them. :>) The fact is, for people that have the money, it will be hard to convince them not to buy an Alpha 9500. It is the amp most of us would love to have. At the same time, I can get full legal power out of my Henry that was made in the 60's. It just takes turning knobs. :>) <<<<<<<<<<<<<< Spend $5K for an Alpha with a pair of 4CX1000A's which will do "brick on the key" all day and night or the same $5K on an amp that can't (THP 2.5K)? I would encourage Elecraft to drop the whole idea unless they can build and sell an "Alpha Class" amp for less. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/What-became-of-the-Elecraft-s-KPA1500-and-KPA-800-tp4528292p4532117.html Sent from the [OT] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
